Now, more than ever, hospitals must be able to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. Jeron's Provider ®790 nurse call communications system is engineered to optimize flexibility in room, unit, facility and campus design.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB)January 30, 2012

As acute care facilities continue to face some of the most daunting challenges in history, flexible and future-directed systems are on the short list of ‘must-have’ technologies. When Jeron Electronic Systems designed its new Provider® 790 nurse call system, adaptability and customization were imperatives. The goal: help hospitals react and respond to a changing environment, including flexible solutions for patient and staff areas.

According to Myles Cochran, Jeron’s Director of Marketing, “We took into consideration the key issues facing acute care today – patient satisfaction and safety issues, an aging population, workforce shortages, facility constraints and technological changes – and developed a nurse call system that addresses each facility’s needs today and their future requirements.”

A study appearing in World Health Design assessed the impact of healthcare design on staff and service delivery and underscored the critical nature of flexibility in nursing unit design. It stated, “Designs that impede changes can lead to expensive renovation work during the life of a facility, to the premature obsolescence of a facility or, all too often, to the development of care-giving plan that is suboptimal because it is designed around the constraints of the facility. From the viewpoints of efficiency, staff well-being and lifecycle cost, it is essential that the built environment supports different unit operational models over a facility’s lifetime.”

To this end, Provider 790 designed flexibility into its patient room configurations and options:

Programmable PrismTM Dome Lights - feature customized colors and sequencing that uniquely identifies each event within the patient room. Nursing units can choose the indications that match their unique operations.

Custom Call Priorities - with over 1,000 call priorities and workflow events available on the Provider 790, the system can be configured to meet each hospital’s current and future alerting and workflow needs.

As the most recent addition to Jeron’s highly respected Provider nurse call systems, Provider 790 will be featured at a full line-up of industry events in 2012, including HIMSS12 in La Vegas on February 20-24, 2012.
